Trump has his ugly base of support, but the majority of the conservative minority are just confused and misinformed, or uninformed tribal members who support the very people who are out to steal their liberal democracy away from them and replace it with Athoritarian rule. Hopefully the non-deplorable supporters of Trump will wake up and be able to admit to the fact that they screwed up royally and, as Adam Schiff aptly put it the other day, throw the bums out.
      I honestly think the only real hope is that the democrats with bigly, gerrymander the GoF into oblivion, and hope that after 10 years enough of the crazies have died to force a change in the party by 2030.

      I'd be perfectly understanding of anyone in this thread who thinks that's too cold hearted of a perspective, however.

        Thank you for once again demonstrating that leftists are being duplicitous when they pretend to oppose gerrymandering.

        I'm always still in trouble again

          Sure it worried a military commander. Why wouldn't it? Your problem is that you're assuming, wrongly of course, that it's not possible to be worried about something that is unverified. Remember, this same commander also said that it was never proven to him.

          As for telling our allies, again your unfounded assumption is that we would only do that if a claim is true, but it could also be a case of "Hey, this popped up on our radar. We don't have any confirmation, but let us know if you hear anything."

          The fact is that everything we know about this at the moment is that it's uncorroborated. That's the word from the Commander in Chief on down.

            I oppose gerrymandering of course. I just oppose fascists having power more.

            But do *you* oppose gerrymandering, may I ask?

                    • Drumpf just admitted in a video-taped interview that he's never talked to Putin about Russian-paid bounties on US troops.

                      Conservative silence is proof of their contempt for American soldiers.

                        You have some of the most twisted sick logic I've ever encountered.

                          Although you know that he probably did talk to Putin about it, and Putin probably gave him his marching orders telling Trump to just say "no I haven't talked to him about it". Then Trump probably answered, "but Vlad, old buddy, old pal, they're going to kill me in the press. Then Putin answered saying, hey there, comrade, relax, have I steered you wrong yet, we're almost there, just hang in there and do what I say, I'll get you through this one too, okay. The Don, knowing he has no choice now but to do what his superior demands of him, does as he's told, and publicly lies to the American people about never bringing up the issue of Russian bounties on American soldiers.
                          Does anybody really believe that Trump has talked to Putin several times since the story came out and yet the issue never even came up. If so, there's this beautiful bridge in Brooklyn that I'm putting up for sale, real cheap. So, the question is, why is Trump lying, what does Putin have on him, how is he compromised, or is he just an out and out traitor?

                            Your contempt for this country's values and service men / women is a little hard to stomach.

                              Yet another dud "bombshell."

                              What do they expect when they keep firing shells that are lacking in corroborating evidence?

                                So Trump never talked to Putin about something for which there is no evidence? Shocking.
